The Class of 2020 from Stanford Lake College enjoyed a rollercoaster of emotions as they enjoyed the traditions of their official last day at school on Friday the 9th of October. It was however Danica Altenroxel who stole the limelight after being awarded with no less than 12 awards.

The ceremony was for the first time due to the Covid-19 regulations streamed live for parents and family to view from the comfort of their own homes and was watched by over 180 people.

The matric class gathered at the Barnyard for the Valediction and Prize Giving Ceremony, where they heard stories of Ubuntu and hope from the guest speaker, Sonja Kruse, as well as fittingly speeches from the headmaster, Alan Redfern, and the head boy and girl.

Many students received awards for their contributions to the school and the formalities were followed by the ceremonious throwing of coloured paint and, of course, jumping in the lake.

Margaret Freestone and Akila Ramdharie shared the King Constantine Medal.
